Millercarbon, I agree that the price increase is a good thing. How does talking about a speaker manufacturer and changing prices have nothing to do with audio? Could you help me understand? I'm not second guessing, but you do realize we human beings make mistakes? Or do you believe certain people are infallible?
Thanks Iwin! I agree with you 100% that Tekton build materials and numbers were pretty strained and stretched thin requiring an increase.
It's funny people think I'm griping. It's not an "all or nothing" world. Personally, I like the Tekton sound, value, and industrial cabinets and I'm not a fanboy. Real world discussions are fantastic and opposing views on the matter expand the topic. I noticed Tekton put up a notice on their site about the price increase and cross posted it on FB. It appears Eric wrote it on the 9th and somebody lagged getting it up and live. Anyone who runs a successful business meets the crossroads of increasing prices, hiring, and delegating tasks. I get it.
The blind defense of Tekton does the brand no good and belies credibility of the person making the statement. I understand when a business is busy, that's why we have web developers and people who answer the phones. I'd be very surprised to see that the Tekton website is designed and updated by one man who also personally crafts all the cabinets, wiring, and finishing.
When I share on something that might hurt Tekton's (or fanboy) credibility, it's better to get it out there and get some positive feedback rather than submit blind defense, otherwise, how can we post honest reviews of products without appearing and acting fanatical or worse, like we have financial interest in the product?
